EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the centennial celebration of Evacuation Day in New York City on November 25,1883. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing Fifth Avenue as it appeared over a century ago. Looking south from Thirty-fifth Street, one can see the old Astor residences that now lie beneath the magnificent Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The photo was taken by an American photographer from the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. It was later featured as an illustration in Valentines Manual of Old New York in 1921, providing valuable historical documentation. Evacuation Day commemorates the departure of British troops from New York at the end of the American Revolutionary War. This particular celebration marked its centennial anniversary, making it an even more significant event for Americans. The festive atmosphere depicted in this image reflects both pride and joy among those gathered to honor their nation's history. People are seen rejoicing and partying along Fifth Avenue, creating a lively scene filled with merriment. This photograph not only serves as a visual reminder of America's past but also highlights how much has changed over time. The presence of large hotels like Waldorf-Astoria hints at New York City's growing prominence as a global hub for business and tourism. Overall, this print provides us with a fascinating window into history—a snapshot frozen in time—capturing both celebrations and progress during this momentous occasion in America's story.
